| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pegasus in full flight to right, rendered with boldly articulated musculature; the wings are raised and spread with finely detailed feathering rendered in relief. The mythical winged horse is depicted in a dynamic rearing posture with fore-legs extended, tail curving downward, and hind legs tucked. The design fills the flan with confident Corinthian-style die engraving characteristic of the late Classical period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Dyrrachion — modern Durrës in Albania — was a Corinthian colonial foundation that developed its own distinctive stater coinage diverging from the Corinthian prototype sometime in the fourth century. The city sat at the western terminus of what would later become the Via Egnatia, making it a critical transit point for Adriatic trade and giving its silver exceptional circulation reach into the Illyrian interior. Coins from this mint have turned up in hoards stretching from Epirus to the middle Danube.
The Pegasi reference remaining unassigned suggests this piece has not yet been fully attributed to a specific die pairing within the corpus.
